Tonight's lineup for the Oilers has not been set yet, but expect a less potent roster. Dwayne Roloson will get the start and expect Jordan Eberle, Jason Strudwick, Andrew Cogliano, Zack Stortini and Gilbert Brule to play. The Canucks will be suiting up the following losers:

Oh and I guess Jamal Mayers lives in my neighborhood now. I am usually so horrible at recognizing celebrities or whatever, but I heard some dude introduce "Jamal Mayers" to his mom at my local bakery/hippie coffee joint so I managed to sleuth this one out. Welcome to Bloor West, Jamal! I assure you that while the women at the Russian Deli might seem like ice queens at first, they actually have hearts of gold.

Um, Krog didn't play for the Moose last season, but he did lead the league in scoring on a stacked Chicago Wolves (ATL farm team) team. We had our own in-house top-10 AHL scorer, who your team gave the cold shoulder to. Brad Moran. Went back to Europe IIRC. Colby Genoway's a strong AHL option, but he's probably about the same level as Hansen. I don't know the newcomers yet.

Gilbert and Grebeshkov have stood out for me, on a bad note. They've been out of sync with each other. Strudwick's playing alright for a 7th D-man.
